CARTON.

specification of Letters Patent' Applieatonled February 25, 1915. SerialNo.\10,468.

To all "whom it may concern Be 1t known thatl, SAMUEL GooDKiNn, acitizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York,borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have inventeda new and Improved Carton, of which .the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a carton which may be usedfor keeping cereals clean and free from dust, the carton being soconstructed that when it is opened, one of its parts will serve as aspout and another of its parts will serve as a means to retard the flowof the cereal from the carton to the spout.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the followingspecification in which the preferred form of my invention is disclosed.

In the drawings similar reference characters refer to similar parts inall the views in whichi Figure 1 is a perspective view showing thecarton with its parts in positionto permit the user to pour the contentsfrom the carton; Fig. 2 is ay fragmentary vview showing the lposition ofthe spout after it has been raised; Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspectiveview showing how the spout and the tongue appear when the tongue hasbeen disposed between the spout and the wings which are connectedtherewith; Fig. 4 is a Sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig.,3; andFig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fig, 3; Fig. 6 is a faceview showing the blank `which is used in the construction of the carton.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that a blank 10 isprovided, there being longitudinal creases 11, 12, 13 and 14 along theblank, dividing the. blank into portions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, a flap20 extending from theend portion 15 as shown'in Fig. 6.of the drawings.Extending from the middle portion 17 of the blank there is a spout 21having a cutaway portion 22 to assist in directing the How of the cerealor other goods contained in the carton over the edge of the spoutadjacent its center, the said spout 21 being integral with the blank asillustrated in Fig. 6 of the dra-wings, and being also integral with thewings 23 which are disposed at the sides of the spout 21, the saidwingsv being also integral with the portionsl and 18 of the blank. Thereare obliquely disposed creases 24.in the wings 23, the' said creasesextending from the creases 12 and 13 where they intersect with thecrease 25 which separates the spout 21 from the middle portion 17 of theblank 10. This crease 25 is extended and serves to separate the wings 23from the portions 16 and 1.8 of the blank. ll prefer tocut the wings 23as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings with edges 26 forming a continuationof the outer edges 27 of the spout and with edges 28 which aresubstantially in alinement with the creases 11 and 14. The wings 23 arecut from the edges 28 to the creases 24, the edges 29 with the edges 28forming an obtuse angle, the wings being also cut from the edges 26 tothe creases 24;

as at 30, the edge 30,forming with the edges' 26 obtuse angles, the edge30 also forming with the edges 29 obtuse angles. Extending from theportion 19 of the blank there is a tongue 31 with a bent end 32 andextending from the portion 15 of the blank 10 there is a partition 33having a cutaway portion 34 through which the cereal may flow from thecarton to the spout, when the parts of the blank are folded and aresecured together as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings.Extending from the end 35 of the blank 10 there is a. flap 36 whichprojects from the middle portion 17 of the blank 10. There is also alla-p 37 which extends from the portion 16 of the blank 10 at the blanksend 35, and from the portion 18 of the blank there is a flap 38. lnaddition, there is a iap 39 which extends from the portion 19 of theblank.

When the blank 10 is folded at its creases 11, 12, 13 and 14, theportions 16, 17, 18 and 19 form the sides of the carton and the portion15 of the blank is disposed below the Patented May 4, 1915.

portion 19,' and is secured thereto, the flap A 20r being secured to theportion 18 of the blank which'forms a side of the carton. The partition33 is then bentl inwardly so that it is disposed as best illustrated inFig. 1 of the drawings, the opening 34 in the n vtongue 31 may beinserted between the spout 21 and'the portions 4l of the wings 23 andthe tongue and the spout may be pressed inwardly until they assume thepositions illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings when the carton will besecurely closed to prevent the dust and dirt from reaching the contentsof the carton.

Having thus described my invention I claim as'new and desire to secureby Letters Patent: n

1. In an article of the class described, a carton having at the endforming a continuation of one side, wings at the side of the spoutconnecting the spout with the sides of the carton adjacent the cartonfsside from which the spout extends, there being creases in the Wings, anda tongue on the cartons side opposite the rst mentioned cartons side fordisposal between the vspout and the wings for closing the carton. j

2. In an article of the class described, a carton having four sides andan end, a spout at the end forming a continuation of one side, wings at.the side of the spout connecting the spout with the sides of the cartonadjacent the cartons side from which the spout extends, there beingcreases in the Wings, and a tongue and a partition extending from thecartons side opposite the irst mentioned cartons side, the partitionbeing disposed within the tongue and having an opening adjacent thecartons side having the spout to permit a limited flow of the contentsof the carton to the spout, the tongue being provided for disposalbetween the spout and the wings for closing the carton.

3. In an article of the class described, a

carton having four sides and an end, a spout at the end integral withand forming a. continuation of one of the sides, wings at the sides ofthe spout, the wings being integral with the spout and with the cartonsside adjacent the cartons side having the spout, there being diagonalcreases in the Wings four sides and an end, a spoiltY and a tongueintegral with and extending from the cartons side opposite the firstcartons s ide for disposal between the spout and onc of the end portionsof the blank for disposal between the spout and the wings for thepurpose speciiied.

5. In an article ofV the class described, a blank having fourlongitudinal creases separating five portions, the blank being folded atthe creases with one of the end portions disposed oi'er the other endportion and secured thereto to form a carton having four sides, anextension at one end of the middle portion of the blank forming a spout,wings integral with the sides of the spout and with the portions of theblank adjacent the said middle portion, there being oblique creases inthe wings, a partition extending from the inner end portion of the blankfor disposal across an end of the carton to retard the flow of thecontents, and a tongue extending from the outer end portion of the blankfor disposal between the spout and the wings for the purpose speciiied.
